If an owner of land is unable to receive electricity, gas or tap water supply or any other continuous supply equivalent thereto (referred to as "continuous supply" in this paragraph and paragraph (1) of the following Article) without installing facilities on other land or using facilities owned by another person, the owner of land may install facilities on the other land or use facilities owned by the other person to the extent necessary to receive continuous supply.
土地の所有者は、他の土地に設備を設置し、又は他人が所有する設備を使用しなければ電気、ガス又は水道水の供給その他これらに類する継続的給付（以下この項及び次条第一項において「継続的給付」という。）を受けることができないときは、継続的給付を受けるため必要な範囲内で、他の土地に設備を設置し、又は他人が所有する設備を使用することができる。
In the case referred to in the preceding paragraph, the place and method of installation or use of the facilities are to be chosen which causes the least damage to other land or facilities owned by the other person (referred to as "other land, etc." in the following paragraph).
A person who installs facilities on other land or uses facilities owned by another person pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) must notify in advance the owner of other land, etc. and the person who is actually using the other land of the purpose, place and method of the installation or use.
In order to install facilities on other land or to use facilities owned by another person pursuant to the provisions of the same paragraph, a person who has the right pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) may use the other land in question or the land on which the facilities owned by the other person in question are located. In this case, the provisions of the proviso to paragraph (1), and paragraphs (2) through (4) of Article 209 apply mutatis mutandis.
第一項の規定による権利を有する者は、同項の規定により他の土地に設備を設置し、又は他人が所有する設備を使用するために当該他の土地又は当該他人が所有する設備がある土地を使用することができる。この場合においては、第二百九条第一項ただし書及び第二項から第四項までの規定を準用する。
A person who installs facilities on other land pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) must pay compensation for damage (excluding damage prescribed in Article 209, paragraph (4) as applied mutatis mutandis in the preceding paragraph) to the other land in question; provided, however, the compensation may be paid annually.
A person who uses facilities owned by another person pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) must pay compensation for damage caused by actions taken in order to initiate using the facilities.

A person who uses, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1), facilities owned by another person must bear the costs required for installation, reconstruction, repair and maintenance of the facilities in proportion to the benefits received.
